(English) The Silly Adventure of Sweet Potatoes 2
This is a sequel to The Silly Adventure of Sweet Potatoes 1 written by Saida (Korean title: Gogumaguma). In the first part, she demonstrated the fun of word play, and now those sweet potato friends are back with more word play. The way they talk sounds carefree, witty, friendly, and warm. Their lively rhymes will make you want to read the lines aloud. When children read those amusing lines, they’ll be able to improve their vocabulary and speaking skills, applying them to their real lives.
Have you heard that sweet potatoes cause foul-smelling gas? The sweet potato friends in The Silly Adventure of Sweet Potatoes 2 emit gas, which produces a sound similar to their own names. Yet, their gas is not just stinky, it also has a secret, tremendous power. When one of their friends is about to fall into a hole, Bo-ok! Bo-ok’s fart saves the friend. When they climb a cliff, Bu-wang! Bo-ok! Bu-sik! Bo-roro! However high it may be, their joint gas takes them to the top of the cliff. When we acknowledge differences, respect each other, and cooperate with each other, there’s nothing we cannot achieve. We shine because we’re all different. When we get rid of our prejudice and love people around us, our friendship will shine a golden hue, just like the insides of a sweet potato.
